Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars image

My twist on rice crispy bars includes crunchy crushed pretzels. Then I top them with a creamy peanut butter coating and rich chocolate topping. Garnished with peanuts and even more pretzels, I don't think I'd ever go back to plain old bars again. -Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin
